We are installing the OS on a system with 2 HD 1 3.5 gig Fujitsu (used for win95) and a 1.7 Gig Segate Drive (both IDE) used for FreeBSD (also has a 200 meg partion on it for dos stuff... Anyhow, the installation looks successful, however, when booting for the first time I get a "panic: cannont mount root" message, then the system reboots. I tried everything, and we went trough the help files numerously.... Any idea of what we could be doing wrong... I setup the kernal, the disk geomitry is ok (I tried both using LBA mode and normal mode)... anyhow, all out of ideas... Please help me if you can. Thanks Richard
